I was sent this product to test courtesy of
Influenster. My first thought was “What is this?” Then I read on and saw that
this product was a baby of Proactiv and I have to admit I was biased. Ok, Ok
but don’t judge me (atleast I admitted it). Proactiv and I have long history
together so it is a product that I hold dear to my heart.
First
off, the packaging of this product was cute I guess that opinion is also biased
being that I love anything sporting purple! On a more serious note, I do love the pump
action. My only criticism of the packaging is that it would be nice if there
was a clear slit along the side to make the inside contents visible. I’m terrified
of the day I go to use it only to have air pass through the pump. As soon as I
get some money (life of a broke college student -_-) I plan to order me some
from www.xout.com.
Now
when using the product there were a few things I liked and a few I didn’t.
·
When applying
the product to my face I noticed it had really small exfoliating beads just
like Proactiv. I liked this because it wasn’t too rough like other brands I’ve
tried where it left my face feeling like I just scrubbed it with a Brillo pad
of some sort. Exfoliating is very important but if abused it can actually be a
cause of breakouts.
·
Unlike Proactiv
it did have this tingling sensation going on. It was irritating at first but
now I find it to be quite refreshing.
·
As I continued
to use the product I did run into a small issue. I began to experience some
dryness. I was careful about not over using the product, as this can be an
issue with any “acne fighting” product. I was following the use of the product
with an “acne fighting” face lotion. I know this is where I went wrong. It is
usually not directed to mix these types of products. I, in this situation,
didn’t have much choice because I couldn’t NOT moisturize. I am really looking
forward to the results of the ‘XOut Wash In Treatment’ in combination with the
‘XOut Shine Control Oil-Free Moisturizer’.
My
overall experience with this product was great. I noticed it worked very
quickly in getting rid of present breakouts. After about a week I started to notice
the appearance of smaller breakouts but they began to go away days following
their appearance. I figured that to be like the ’detox’ period. I liked that
there was no need to follow up with a toner because I noticed the product
managed to do it on its own. If I ever find the product to be too drying I go a
few days solely using it as a spot treatment. The option to use this product as
daily wash, spot treatment, or mask worked out in my favor and in ensuring that
my face consistently got the treatment it needed. I love feeling like I am
getting the maximum benefit from this product at all times, regardless of the
way I choose to use it.
